It was Spirit Day at school and the children were asked to wear “crazy” hairstyles to school. My daughter has long hair so I did a few braids, a few pony tails, looped some of the hair, and used many scrunchies. This is the photo I took of the detail as seen from the back of her head.
I joined in the fun and did my hair similar to that of my daughter’s. She loved that I was participating – as did my students! It was a fun day with many original hairstyles. What a pity they were all covered up as we stepped outside into a cold winter’s day.
Do you ever wear a “crazy” hairstyle?

Your daughter has lovely thick hair, Colline. It must have been fun to hairdress-up like that.
Once I went to a Crazy Hair Party. Added many extentions in PINK to my hair with something that looked like gum. Chewing gum. But it was especially for hair. The day after, I couldn’t get them out though: the gum was stuck to my rather thin hair.
In utter despair I ran to my neighbor and she helped me to comb them out, after applying lots of olive oil to my hair.
The worst part is that I hate pink. It was horror 😀

I wish I could! I have short, grey hair. I like to do it funky, but it laasts exactly 10 minutes (We live close to the sea)

The boys with short hair at school got very creative with coloured hairspray resulting in some very interesting do’s 🙂

Fun! Once I dressed up as an OLD lady to give a presentation in college. I pulled my hair into a bun and powdered it WHITE. As I walked across campus, no one recognized me. It’s fun being incognito. 😀

It is interesting to see how differently people respond to you as well when you look different. And all you have changed is your hair! 🙂

Wild and woolly! My normal style is crazy. My hair tends to do a Dagwood thing.

Lot’s of detail. I have never intentionally have worn a crazy hairstyle.
When I was a kid my mother would braid my bangs into to sections, then turn them in the shape of a rounded “w” and clamp it to the rest of my hair with a hair clip that matched my outfit of the day. I wish I had a photo to show. It’s hard to describe. It was definitely uniquely my look.

How fun to do her hair like that! I have curly hair, so my hair is pretty much crazy all the time. The worst was the late 80s though, with the tall, hairsprayed bangs.

I remember those days – and how we envied those people who could create those bangs. At least now my absolutely straight hair no matter what I do is now in fashion 🙂

Sounds like quite a colourful and interesting day for the students at school, not much the boys could do I suppose other than spiky or coloured hair, overall must have been fun.
